- Install the GROM Audio Unit (US $250 or so).
- The optional Bluetooth Dongle is another $50.

Info in forums...

Bluetooth integrated into the head unit does not occur until MY11, prior that if you want the capability you need to install an aftermarket unit (OE accessory is a rebranded Motorola IHF1000 or 1500). Some folks have gone the Parrot mk9100 route with a wiring harness, and there's always the GROM adapter or an aftermarket head unit with bluetooth capability built in.

I have the Volvo accessory bluetooth in both my vehicles, for the '08 I had to source a combination of old and new parts to make it work.

I added BT in my 2004, by soldering a 5$ BT Module on the AM Module in the trunkroof.
Good: ist works
Bad: u lose AM Radio
Between: u need to Turn the volume for FM to Max if u need it, as long the Module is powered. But for That, a Switch Would help.

Any cheap device alternative? The GROM one is very expensive.

The cheapest alternative I've found is the MR12Volt kit. I haven't bought/installed one (yet) but here's a couple of links to it on Amazon and a youtube video showing it being installed. They don't speak in the video but at least you can see how it goes in.

If you find a better/cheaper alternative, please let me know.
